Zechariah 8:3-8, 7-13, 9-13, 11-17, 21-23

A (3) Thus saith Yahweh; I am returned unto Zion, and WILL DWELL IN THE MIDST of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city OF TRUTH; and the mountain of Yahweh of hosts the holy mountain.

B (4) Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very AGE <03117>.

C (5) And THE STREETS of the city

D (5) shall be full of boys and girls playing

C1 (5) in THE STREETS thereof.

B1 (6) Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people IN THESE DAYS <03117>, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith Yahweh of hosts.

A1 (7,8) Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and THEY SHALL DWELLIN THE MIDST of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, IN TRUTH and in righteousness.

ZECHARIAH 8:7-13:

A (7) Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; Behold, I WILL SAVE my people

B (7) from the east COUNTRY <0776>, and from the west COUNTRY <0776>;

C (8) And I WILL BRING <0935> them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

D (9) Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of Yahweh of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

C1 (10) For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or CAME IN <0935> because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.

B1 (11,12) But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith Yahweh of hosts. For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and THE GROUND <0776> shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

A1 (13) And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; SO WILL I SAVE you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.

ZECHARIAH 8:9-13:

A (9) Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; LET YOUR HANDS BE STRONG, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets,

B (9) which were in the day that the foundation of THE HOUSE of Yahweh of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.

C (10) For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any PEACE <07965> to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.

D (11) But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith Yahweh of hosts.

C1 (12) For the seed SHALL BE PROSPEROUS <07965>; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

B1 (13) And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O HOUSE of Judah, and HOUSE of Israel;

A1 (13) so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but LET YOUR HANDS BE STRONG.

ZECHARIAH 8:11-17:

A (11) But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, SAITH <05002> Yahweh of hosts.

B (12) For the seed SHALL BE PROSPEROUS <07965>; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

C (13) And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: FEAR NOT, but let your hands be strong.

D (14) For thus saith <0559> Yahweh of hosts; AS I THOUGHT to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith Yahweh of hosts, and I repented not:

D1 (15) So again HAVE I THOUGHT in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah:

C1 (13) FEAR YE NOT.

B1 (16) These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and PEACE <07965> in your gates:

A1 (17) And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, SAITH <05002> Yahweh.

ZECHARIAH 8:21-23:

A (21) And the inhabitants of one city shall go <01980> to another, saying, LET US GO <03212> speedily

B (21) TO PRAY BEFORE Yahweh,

C (21) and TO SEEK Yahweh of hosts:

D (21) I will go also.

C1 (22) Yea, many people and strong nations shall come TO SEEK Yahweh of hosts in Jerusalem,

B1 (22) and TO PRAY BEFORE Yahweh.

A1 (23) Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, WE WILL GO <03212> with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
